Provided types documentation in other .NET languages #275

Open Liminiens opened 5 years ago

Liminiens commented 5 years ago

So far as I can understand, right now documentation from .AddXmlDoc is provided via TypeProviderXmlDoc attributes which are visible from F# projects, but not from C# project referencing the F# project with provided type. Is there a way to provide documentation for generated types which would be visible in other languages?

THere is currently no way unfortunately.

Well, I made a simple extension which shows quick info with summary text from attribute, better than nothing I suppose :)

But maybe something like that could be contributed to roslyn? Or it's unlikely that they will accept such integration bits? @dsyme

@Liminiens can it be part of Ionide?

@sergey-tihon unfortunately I know nothing about Ionide, I usually work in VS\Rider :(
